Publisher Description
Fifteen-year-old Mike McGill has lived with his Uncle Billy since his mother's death. Only ten years older than Mike, Billy loves to party, and he doesn't pay much attention when Mike starts getting in trouble. But nothing gets by Mike's history teacher, an ex-cop named Riel—especially not long-hidden information about Mike's mother. Her death might not have been an accident after all!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Launching the Mike & Riel crime fiction series, written at a fourth-grade reading level, McClintock introduces an unlikely investigative duo of a teenage boy and an ex-cop. Fifteen-year-old Mike has had a tough time since his mother was killed in a hit-and-run accident. His difficulties and poor academic standing don't go unnoticed by his history teacher (and former police officer), Mr. Riel. After butting heads, the two join forces to revisit what really happened to Mike's mother, with chilling results. The action is somewhat slow and the central mystery convoluted, but the final pages suggest a budding relationship that could make Mike and Riel an enjoyable team to follow in future cases. Simultaneously available: Truth and Lies and Dead and Gone. Ages 11 up.
